PREFACE 




As the bungalow grows more and more in favor the demand is for larger and more costly homes of this character; 
and as about one-half of the homes we design are of the two-story type we are devoting this entire issue to the two-story 
home. A very good idea can be obtained of the general effect of the exterior and of the floor arrangement from the engrav¬ 
ing herein shown. The plans call for all the latest built-in features such as fire places, buffets, book-cases, writing desks, 
seats, dressers, coolers, cupboards, linen closets, etc., etc. The houses are piped for furnace and have cement cellars. 

Fionas airadl §p©caffflC^.tIoEas<» 

The working plans and specifications of any house shown in this book may be had for the price printed herein. The 
plans include blue prints of four elevations, foundation plan, first floor plan, second floor plan and two sheets of details, to¬ 
gether with 13 pages of typewritten specifications. 

Plsums to OrdleiTo 

If you do not find a plan that meets your requirements we can draw it. Our Architectural Department is at your 
service. We will redraw an entire new floor plan of any house shown for $5.00 extra for the first floor plan and $2.00 for 
the second floor plan, furnishing the stock plans of the elevations and details at the price printed. Or we will make special 
plans of any arrangement or design you w T ish for a charge of $5.00 per room, counting basement and sleeping porches as 
rooms but not counting bath rooms or small halls. 

We will be glad to quote you prices of plans on receipt of your rough sketch. When we make special plans, we 
make pencil sketches of the floor plan and exterior and submit for criticism. After they have been returned, with correc¬ 
tions, if any, we finish them up and furnish three sets of blue prints and specifications complete. A deposit of about one-third 
of the total cost is required with order for special plans. 



We have built jnost of the houses shown in this book and can build them for about the prices printed. We have a 
large force of skilljsti'workmen and buy our material at wholesale prices and are in a position to build your home right, 
artistic and economically.

HIS exquisite two-story bungalow with its broad rambling lines, well- 
sheltered front and side porches and pleasing exterior is what we con¬ 
sider a gem. A bungalow containing a fair amount of convenience, 
art, and comfort is common, but one arranged with an abundance of 
these is to be had in this. We heartily ask you to study the plan and 
photo. The latter, however, could only give, at its best, a most vague idea of the real 
beauty embodied and the artistic lines of the house itself. Plans and specifications 
$10.00. We will furnish the plans free though if we build your home.

ANY features are evident in 
the plans of this neat, home¬ 
like house. Large Dining 
and Living Rooms with 
plenty of light are very im¬ 
portant factors for the comfort of the family 
as a whole. We have carefully, however, 
considered the comfort of the housewife also 
by planning a well-lighted buffet kitchen with 
numerous cupboard, cooler, bin for flour, and 
many other features. A back hall leads from 
all portions of the house downstairs. An ar¬ 
tistic easy stair goes up to the second floor 
from the end of the Living Room. The large 
balcony, the Porte Cochere and inviting porch 
are all comfortable and useful features that 
should not be overlooked. In this plan we 
have produced an arrangement of exceptional 
merit together with a design of a most pleas¬ 
ing and homelike character. We offer these 
plans and specifications for $10.00, but if we 
build your home the plans are free.

this type popular. The fine arrangement is too 
noticeable to require our mention and the 
artistic features are likewise very pronounced. 
As usual in our houses it contains the full com¬

OTE the arrangement of this house, as well as the design. The first floor 
and lay-out in general is most comfortable for all members of the family. 
The Living Room is exposed on front and back which assures a cool 
room on hot summer days. The Breakfast Room and Dining Room 
are convienently arranged in relation to the kitchen. Many other feat¬ 
ures of comfort such as the Sun Room, Patio and Dressing Room are worthy of atten¬ 
tion. A large bathroom is provided with a dresser and chest of drawers. The plan of 
the house as a whole has been worked out with “comfort” always in mind. We request 
your study of the bungalow as it is here pictured and we then leave it to your own judg¬ 
ment. Of this type we regard it as “ACME”. Our plans and specifications for this 
pleasing home are $10.00. We will furnish plans free, however, if we build this home 
for you.

air about it that renders it most artistic and unique. The construction, 
as usual in our houses is of the best. A cement foundation of proper 
dimensions to carry all the weight under any circumstance, massive tim¬

HIS home is one that at 
once appeals to those seek¬ 
ing something distinctive. 
The house as a whole sug¬ 
gests “Plan-Kraft”, individ¬ 
uality and yet it is so modest it pleases the 
most conservative. To the family wanting a 
home on massive lines, distinctive and inex¬ 
pensive, we can heartily recommend this. 
The large massive buttresses, the ready access 
to the cellar from outside or inside, the handy 
stairs leading to the second floor and the gen¬ 
eral arrangement are just enough different to 
merit your deep consideration. It is planned 
for convenience, not only to one member of 
the family, but all. Shakes and siding com¬ 
prise the exterior covering for the walls. The 
roof is covered with composition roofing. The 
massive columns are in perfect accord with 
the sturdy effect of the whole design. Plans 
and specifications $ I 5.00, but free if we build 
for you.

shakes, the roof with composition roofing. 
The large brick pillars supporting the balcony 
above give this home a dignified air and gen¬ 
eral effect most pleasing. Our usual speci¬

like construction go with this set of plans.

HE “Dutch Colonial” has 
been evolving for a great 
number of years but it re¬ 
mained for the Architects and 
designers of “Sunny Califor¬ 
nia” to perfect it and imbibe in this type that 
peculiar something so noticeable in California 
homes. We have pictured herewith a true ex¬ 
ample of this type as produced in this part of 
the United States with all the good qualities of 
the first examples together with a finer study 
of the various points of design. This home 
is indeed worthy of the attention of those 
wishing an artistic, comfortable and econom¬ 
ical house of these proportions. The main 
entrance is by way of broad spacious terrace 
leading to the porch. Entrances are also pro¬ 
vided for from a side street and a roomy 
screen porch serves as a rear entrance. A 
study of the plan shows the generous propor¬ 
tions of all the rooms and the very conveni¬ 
ent manner in which they are combined with 
a view of economical and artistic construction. 
The exterior is most tastely treated. The 
roof is covered with shingles, while the second 
story portion of the walls is covered with 
split shakes. This with the white stucco 
walls of the lower story gives a most pleasing 
and harmonious effect. 

The design is one which we offer to those 
of means who wish something different. The 
prices above limit the house only in the mini¬ 
mum as this may be built with finer exterior 
and interior finish and running well into the 
thousands if the owner should wish.

HE refined, cultured and yet massive lines of this 
home at once appeals to the home-builder. A 
unique treatment of the various portions of the ex¬ 
terior and the handy arrangement of all the house 
gives this a character entirely new and different. 
We show a picture of the view in the Living Room and Dining 
Room. Note the massive lines, the odd and crafty buttress, the 
fire-place and all the beauties of these two rooms alone. The 
other portions of the house likewise have their own individual 
features which make this design as a whole most ideal. The price 
of plans and specifications for this distinctive home is $12.00.

ERE is a home worthy of the 
name in every respect. With 
just a touch of the “old 
English” about it yet with a 
refinement and culture which 
demands the second look from the by-passer. 
The stonework below supporting the massive 
half-timber work above gives a rugged effect 
in perfect sympathy with the finer and more 
delicate detail of the design. A billiard and 
pool room is provided on the third floor. 
The floors are all a most ideal arrangement 
from the view point of comfort, convenience 
and utility. The estimates are given only in 
the minimum. The cost can be made to far 
exceed these estimates by using more elaborate 
interior finish and by means of an addition of 
various utensils and ideas you might person¬ 
ally desire. This house at once becomes an 
ideal one for the family of moderate means as 
well as the man of greater riches. Our price

this especially good for one seeking a build¬

in its lines very similar to the 
bungalows of the earlier types 
but embodying the features 
of the more up “to the min¬

foregoing classes might not appeal. Kindly

VER'l unpretentious, neat and crafty little five-room house designed on 
Swiss lines with a compact and handy layout. The exterior covering 
of shakes give it the rugged aspect typical of the Swiss, while the general 
mass suggests the finer lines of the California bungalow. The interior 
is well arranged in regard to the location of the various rooms. All 
rooms open into the hall thus giving ready access to the bath. Both bedrooms are on 
the second floor, decidedly well ventilated and a very good place to enjoy the comforts 
of sleep. We will furnish plans and specifications of this bungalow for $10.00. Plans

371/2 ft. Front. 


N this quaint New England 
home we have successfully 
planned many features for 
the family of moderate 
means. An exterior very 
Eastern in its general aspect and still with an 
air of California and the West about it, 
shingled roof and gables with Stucco below 
give it a tone most artistic and home-like. 
The beautiful little terrace in the front, the 
compact but roomy porch and a most invit¬ 
ing Reception Hall breathe the very atmos¬ 
phere of New England hospitality mingled 
with the congeniality of the West. A large 
Living Room with its flickering fire-place and 
massive buttresses are indeed features that 
prompt one to remain. To be brief, the home 
is designed for those searching for a plan that 
contains a true Western air and yet just 
enough of the Eastern qualities to suit the 
most discriminating. Plans and specifications 
$10.00, plans free if we build for you.

UNGALOWS along individual lines and distinctive in character are al¬ 
ways in demand, such features as a fine arrangement of the interior, 
a broad front porch returned back on one side of the house, combined 
with a crafty exterior have always been demanded. Considering this 
fact we have designed this bungalow of six rooms with the point in 
view to omit no feature of convenience but any and all that might prove otherwise. 
Plans and specifications $10.00. Our usual offer of free plans if we build your home.

HE great demand for a house of the Swiss Chalet Type with one 
sleeping room upstairs has compelled us to produce this little home. 
The arrangement of the rooms is most tastefully accomplished to¬ 
gether with an exterior of pleasing design. Note how conveniently 
one can pass from any of the rooms into the hall, and how the bath 
is situated in regard to the various rooms. This is a feature of importance one 
must not overlook. This combined with the numerous other comforts are very 
evident in this cozy compact little bungalow. To those who are fond of a fresh 
air room, to those who seek convenience and a fine design and still retain the dignity 
of their pocketbook by economical construction we can especially recommend this 
homelike little bungalow. It’s white composition roof, the rugged lines of shake 
weather boarding and the touch of the “Swiss Chalet” truly makes this an ideal 
little home for a small family. Plans and specifications $12.00. Plans free if 
we build your home.

One Story bungalows. 

In the foregoing pages we have displayed a few one-story bungalows. If you are looking for this type of a home we 
refer you to our book, “The Draughtsman” a more complete treatise of the smaller bungalow home. Its pages contain 
numerous designs featuring the Swiss Chalet and Modified Japanese Architecture. 

Price 25 cents postpaid—send either coin or stamps. 



Our iDepartment of building Construction. 

It stands to reason that after having studied on and worked out a set of plans for a client, we are more familiar with 
his ideas than a firm who never saw the plans before. It is also evident we can carry out those ideals more readily and with 
less expense and annoyance to the Owner than those not so familiar with his wishes. 

Confinement to one line like Architecture causes one to become narrow and impractical in the line of construction 
itself. Those who confine their efforts to building only are liable to neglect their artistic instincts. 

We have put forth every effort to avoid either of these conditions and have worked with an end in view to combine 
the greatest possible art and design consistent with true economy and good construction. 

Our corps of designers and draughtsmen and our foremen on the jobs co-operate, thus producing an interest in the job 
that would otherwise be impossible. 

No matter, how small or how large your building is it will receive the greatest of interest and attention from the 
foremen as well as the superintendents sent from the office. '‘All our clients are our friends—we solicit investigation.” 

Yours for a better home,
